(Preface) 'The current type design scene is being driven by an entirely new perception from what we have known in the past. Truly novel and original works are being created every day because typography has broken free of traditional ideas of what type can be and what it cannot be. Typographic art is now looked upon as the optimum means of visual communication.
This dynamic growth of interest in type is underpinned by the fabulous variety of technical options that have been made available through the introduction of computers and electronic media into the field. At the same time, a renewed respect for the original beauty of the great hand-crafted fonts has come to inform and deepen our appreciation of the spectacular typefaces that contemporary designers produce. This acknowledgement of the origins of typographic esthetics is at the heart of this volume, which ventures to expose the beauty of type as it has evolved from the classic designs. Through our rigorous screening process, we have selected only works that have characters as the basis of their design structure...'
